Flared24's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~'{Into The Storm}'~]

classical?

no stars off for the wrong genre, but this definitely isn't drum and bass. as for the actual track, it's pretty atmospheric. really fits a battle scene type of thing

[FXUEM - Traffic Accidents]

wow

if your bass didn't overpower everything, i'd say this could be very professional, actually. i love how that synth accents the bass melody.

[M - Pound Syndrome]

dull

while you have a nice build-up, my opinion is just i dislike your bass melody. it's just boring, nothing spectacular; doesn't catch me so i'll say, "hey, this shit makes me feel something"

i don't know. this is purely an opinion review, sorry. hope you understand

Melophobik responds:

Fair enough, I can't get mad at you for not linking my song :P

And is it the wobble you're talking about? Because you might like the 2nd one that comes in...

[Fredgy - Dubstep WIP]

sick loop

dubstep artists here seem to know there shit, where dnb people can't do anything but make trance. weird difference, in my opinion.

the one thing i like a lot about this loop is that your bass has a real melody that goes with that plucking instrument. i'm not too familiar with dubstep, but i know classic wobble tracks are nearly random, where as this is pretty catchy.

keep up the good work, man

Fredgy responds:

thanks, i will

[*Knights of Cydonia* [IZK]/[V]]

interesting

you managed to make the original in the background and pile on other elements for that liquid effect. knights of cydonia isn't at all a calm track, but somehow you pulled it off by changing that completely. seriously nice work

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

That it is. Were it not for the help of my dear friend Marks-A-Lot, it wouldn't have turned out this way :) We def work well together lol.

[Lucovic - D'Memorial (Remixed)]

old school

your structure is good. the build-up is smooth and nothing is too repetitive. i dislike the pitch change effect. it's just too obnoxious, haha

good work, though. love that sub

Lucovic responds:

Thanks a lot, im glad to see that my changes paid off :P

something else

although your track structure is a bit poor, i love the drums and that muted bass that accents the beat so well. incredible stuff, man.

[Oscillator Fun [DGAF]]

a few problems

you never want dance influences to be mixed with drum and bass. when you have electro-like melodies, it really takes away from the feel of dnb. your bass is incredibly high and a bit too plain (needs more of a raw noise, more fine adjustments).

and your drums are obviously fl studio. when you produce professional tracks, you don't want default program samples to be heard. i suggest finding real breaks and cutting them up with the fruity slicer, or making realistic drums by layering, compressing, and changing pitches.

hope this helps

ambiguousMAN responds:

I was always unsure as to what genre this song was but thought DnB was the closest at the time of the upload. It was more me making a song and calling it DnB, not me try to make a DnB song specifically from the start D:

I will try to change the genre since I now know it isn't really a DnB song, maybe it's dance like you said? ("you never want 'dance influences' to be mixed with drum and bass")

Thanks for the review! It did help a lot for both categorizing the song and for when I make DnB songs in the future (will try not to use default snares).

[Doublecrossed [Dub/Preview]]

small suggestion

i feel a hard clap would suit the bass more. the snare you currently have just sticks out too much, but it doesn't blend with anything. i love your melodies, though.

[*Time Traveller*]

flows well

yeah, it flows really well. i really like the pad/strings you used, but it's dissapointing how the whole track generally remains static. whever your drop is, it's almost unnoticable.

you claim there's a sub bass as well, but i can't hear it even with my awesome speakers and subwoofer. something's wrong about that. look up "metrik - your world" because if you can make a bass more like that, it would fit in so much better.

worth a 5. nice stuff

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

Yep. I know. I've listened to metrik - your world before. Maybe I will. I'll think about it. Thanks though.
